Short URL!

The SHORT URL Institute
Making long URLs friendlier to use!

Are you sick of posting URLs in emails only to have it break when sent causing the recipient to have to cut and paste it back together? Then you've come to the right place. By entering in a URL in the text field below, we will create a SHORT URL that will not break in email postings and never expires.

An example: Turn a long URL like this:

http://www.aquinasandmore.com/index.c
fm/FuseAction/Store.ItemDetails/SKU/9
227/affiliate/RoseMinistri3965/T/3

into this SHORT URL:

http://minurl.com/9966

Which one would you rather cut and paste into your browser?

Redirection to any page in your site!

You can also make a SHORT URL that will work for any page on your site. Let's say that you have a website with the homepage that is at: http://www.geocities.com/cutesy-poo-street/acupuncture/

Entering that URL will create a URL like http://minurl.com/6556

With this you can then redirect someone to anywhere within your site by appending a slash and the pages filename to it. So if you have a page at http://www.geocities.com/cutesy-poo-street/acupuncture/my-links-page.html, you can use the URL http://minurl.com/6556/my-links-page.html and going to this URL will forward the visitor to the page in your website.

Hide your affiliate URLs!

Are you posting something that you don't want people to know what the URL is because it might give away that it's an affiliate link? Then you can enter a URL into MinURL, and your affiliate link will be hidden from the visitor.
